How truly hath it been said that there is
black sheep in every flock! Little Jimmy
was surely the black sheep in the Jinkins
flock. He was unlike the rest of the family.
Miss Jennie was very handsome and pre-
possessing young lady, and John Henry, Jr.,
was digniied and well-behaved young gen.
tleman but little Jimmy was bad egg.
He developed a propensity for wickedness
very young. When merely little boy he
used to steal everything he could lay his
hands on, and was continually running
away. remember observing the effect of
some of the persuasive arguments which Mr..
Jinkins used to induce Jimmy to stay at
home. Whipping was wortnless-Mr. jim
kins tried that until he got tired Of it; then
he shut him up. Jimmy's room was in the
gable end Of the Jnkins mansion, up near
the roof, and the window was very small,
square one, up in the point of the gable.
Notwithstanding the fact that this window
was at least thirty feet from the ground,
Jimmy used to get out of that window and
down to the ground, and run away. I re-
member seeing him one day on the street
without his hat, and he said he had forgot
ten it when he came down" Finding that
this method didn't work, Mr.. Jinkins took
away the larger portion Of Jimmy's ward
robe, and locked him up in that shape. All
was quiet on the Potomac until one evening
some ladies and gentlemen passing by the
Jinkins mansion had a very bad fright
There was wild. weird cry, and the ladies
screamed and looked to see whence the sound
came. Then they screamed again and faint.
ed. Looking up in the direction of the
wild, weird cries. there was seen a small,
though very animated, ghost, sitting a-strad-
die of the ridge pole at the very point of the
front gable. The ghost was perched on this
dizzy point, with his scant drapery floating
out behind him, his arms and legs descrlb-
ing the most wild and extraordinary gest-
ures, and he all the while making faces at
the passing pedestrians, and shrieking like
little demon. No wonder that the ladies
tainted

GOOD.nYE.

All, dearly beloved was the dirty old sanctum,
Where often there came to our nose
The fragrance Of turnlps aud rotten potatoes,
And every spoiled plumber that grows.
So. when the time came to get out OF that
precinct,
We wept till our tear glands were dry,
As forth we must sally, away from Riale's
Alley
We murmured a last Goodbye"
The peanut bell ingles Its tedious music,
As was its bad habit before,
But now it may jingle till peanuts are out
lawed,-
Il can't bother us any more,
For we are in quarters more cheerful and
pleasant,
Yet still we do frequently cry
When our thoughts come to rally around
"Riale's Alley"
And we think of our sad goodbye"
As toward the great future the fleet years are
speeding,
They'll travel most awfully fast,
Aud up the great stair Of the stern resurrec-
ton
st. Peter will jerk us at last.
But, while we are waiting for Gatriel's trum-
pet,
The American banner waves high;
Bad smells will still rally all through "Riale's
Alley"
As we think of our sad goodbye"

In the little La Sale sigher, published by
the wel.known moralist named Jack Red
dick, there was, week ago, an attempt at a
joke, of which the author of this column
was the subject. Now we deal in jokes, and
like to exchange them with our neighbors,
but joke is one thing, and vulgarity is
quite different thing. The only fit reply
to Mr.. Reddick is to quote the little couplet
of the old poet
"Immodcst words admit of no Defence
A want of decency is want of sense"

LITTLE JIMMY JINKINs.

LITTLE JIMMY JINKINs.
Little jimmy Jinkins
Was a shameless little pimp,
a torrid little rascal,
And a graceless little imp.
He kept his father fretting
AT evening, noon and morn.
lie made himself nuisance
As soon as he was born.
He had more sinful vices
Than boy e'er had before,
And then was.quite unhappy
Because he hadn't more;
For of the mean and vulgar,
And Of the low and tough.
For this young bud of promise
There wasn't hall enough.
Little Jimmy Jinkins
Could swear and smoke and chew,
And call bad names and gamble,
And drink bad whiskey, too;
For everything that's sinful
He knew just where to go.
There wasn't much that's wicked
That Jimmy didn't know.
He cut up every caper
That naughty boy e'er tried,
He knew all olden meanness,
And found Few tricks beside.
lie had new found baseness
For every blessed day.
To him disgrace was pastime,
And wickedness was play.

DRIFTING.

DRIFTING,
am drifting, slowly drifting
On the changing waves of time,
Every scene around me shifting,
And each moment more sublime,
As near the great Eternal,
And pass to joys supernal
Through the grave"
Thus says the old poem, and that is just
what thousands Of people are doing-drift-
ing-shiftlessly, worthlessly, idly drifting.

M LEWISTON, April Is.
Inc session of the Grand Lodge of Good
lempiars closed successful session late last
evening. The following resolution was
adopted jus, before closing:
whereas, We learn that the danutr 40,
rector OF internal revenue at Augusta has re-.
luseo to testify n relation to the payment of
Inc special liquor tax in a case before the

Whereas. 1t is reported that this refnsa,

therefore,
Resolved, That if the reports are correct

authorities that they will have our sympathy
and support In their efforts to secure ODE dl

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Mr.. Powderly Speaks on the Declaration
of Principles.

New YORK, April Is.
A Philadelphia special quotes the follow
ing from Mr.. T. V. Powderly which will ap-
pear in the journal of United Labor on Sat
urday:
The Knights of Labor need not go away
from home to get issues to advocate. They
have a declaration of principles, any one of
which carried out would materially advance
the welfare of the human family. Take this
fourth section of our platform for instance,
That the public lands, the heritage of the
people. be received for actual settlers, not
another acre for railroads and spectators,
and that all lands held for speculative psr-
noses be taxed to their full value. The lat
ter clause especially would materially lessen
the tax rate in nearly every municipality in
the country, making it Improbable to build.
graduated income tax, which IS the Thrift
eth article of our faith, would more equitably
divide the burdens of taxation. Doing away
with banks of issue is the third important
plank. a question which will soon have to be
met. For the rapid payment of the govern
mept bonds will induce the issuers of illegal
and expensive national ank currency to ask
congressional action for some other means OF
keeping hold of this source of income, and
last but not least is that matter OF vital I'M
portance, to free government, the State own
ership of railroads, telegraphs and the like,
of the means of transporting intelligence to
nassenpers and freight. On this point the
knights speak with no uncertain sound.

DISMISSED.
Inc 'aptain of the ship Belle Of Rath
Wins the Case.

PHILADELPHIA, April Is
VIM. G. Nichols, master of the shin paro
ot Bath, was given summary hesr;,, br
Judge Butler Of the United States DISTRICT
Court, this forenoon, upon the charge of
cruelty to sailors. The complainants were
Jas. Crln, Jas. Brady, Geo. Smith, and ia,
Martin, who testified with several other fel-
low seamen that during the recent VOYAGE.
the captain had without cause put them in
irons and tiiced them up by the wrists so
their feet barely touched the floor and thev
were forced to remain in this position for
an hour and half They said the CAPTAIN
was drunk at times and he had been drunk
ever since.
The witnesses for the defence told an en-.
tirely different story. Their evidence wen,
to show that the sailors had refused to obey
orders, and that the captain who was per.
fectly sober man, had been forced to punish
them in order to enforce discipline. Judge
Butler said the defendent did not look like 8
drinking man, but appeared respectable and
intelligent, and under the circumstances the
complaint must be dismissed.
